He remained in conversation with Earl PAULET and General Gonnod for a considerable time, making very particular inquiries of the state of the KING' heal: li, haring heard the most alarming accounts. On being assured that the accounts were more flattering than on Tuesday, he appeared much gratified. He then withdrew to the Presence Cham ber, where the Pages were in attendance, to haves bis name signed as an inquirer, and direCted Count ' ho was with him, to sign his name for him; but on its, being suggested that it would appear more respectful to sign his own name, he signed his name " Count GOTTORP." The Count who was with him had not time to sign his own. name, Count GOTTultp having gone away, but requested Mr. REEVES, of the Alien Office, to add his name. . The 'Aew York Gazette of November the 91h says—" The following extraordinary succession' of Calamities took place last month on board the United States' frigate Cons/it/it/on, Capt.

It so. happened that he marked those of Morgan and Rogers, two midshipmen, be tween whom a duel took place at that time, men tioned in the papers, and their t.wo seconds—the result of the,duel, it is known, was the death of Rogers, and Morgan wounded : the dead body was the same evening carried on board . the frigate, and the next day,, with the usual ceremonies, boiled on shore ; while the procession of boats for this pur pose were moving towards the shore, a man fell from the tnast bead of the frigate and was killed ; l in a quarter of an ,hour afterwards another f e ll f rom the same place, and was so hurt that he died th e . 2 next day; while they were lowering the wounded man into the cock-pit, another fell backwards into the cock-pit, and badly traetured his leg; the nest day the frigate sailed for the Delaware, and the day, after, while she was going up the bay, at the rate of ten knots an hour, a midshipman tell overboard and was drowned; - while the boats were lowering' away to go to his relief, the stern-boat, with a pen dant and three'men in it, was capsized, and they were all immediately plunged into the water, from which they were with difficulty rescued by the sur topnding boats. • THE THEATRES. • CovENT-GAapetc.;-4-The excellent, old Comedy . of Every Nan in, his Humour was represented last night at at this Theatre. Tire endieucc,• who doubt less came chiefly for the-purpose Of seeing the new Pamotnittie, Was somewhat unruly-during the Phy. Bet when the Overture of the Pantomime began, it .gradvally.sebdued the turbulen tspi ri ts, and. at length the rising of the - curtain produced universal .atten ,tion.., The name of this new Pantomime is Harle quin and itionodeUs4 , or, Cupid on Crutches. It is:, hardly necessary for us to tell - our Readers> that this. piece is krunded en 41 . . e .excellent French novel of Le Diable Bnitea.t, written, .by.. 4 he•immortat author of Gil Blai. The former noveLaflorded good scope for the satirical hinnour of FoOTE,. who brought forward a Comedy uith the game. title, whch con tained some pointed allusions to the events. and characters of the 'time. The subjett .seemed so. pregnant with materials for . a.Pantomitne, that it is . &uprising that iLneyer way employed in that manner before. It is but justice to the piece of last night to say, that the author, if we may so call him, has availed himself of, ttie subject with great skill, and has produced a. eduipmime. which will probably, rival . in glory, even the celebrated Mother Goose. - The ploi, of course, consists of the usual alternations of success and perplexity in the fate Of Harlequin and his nimbly partner- with all the dangers attendant on the p;irsuits or his enemies, and the • agility of . his ecapes and .the poteecy.of his wooden s w o rd. The scenery is various, gr a nd, and beautiful: The view of Cadiz, the eruption of a volcaito,. a ship :launch, 'a view in Vie Isle of Wight, and many other striking ebieets, render, the piece ahogetlier source of wonder and dehght to the audience.— , BOLOGNA and,.

FABLE. • Don Alzarno is represented as having been deeply ens. moored of the PrincesS Altainita. -The diSf)arity between meal, in rank and fortune, placed great obstacles in the way of their union, and an universally accredited account of her death, annihilated ins every'hope. Witha Mind Impaired by affliction and weakened by despair, he bec.oines the dope of various cielusion, winch are artfully spread bi , foie him, rind i., the end, feasoit is - sd tar - shaken, that he is )e,j t o d'bei, e l io magic. Laureritina, a haughty beauty, thought disdainful to others, iS passlohately - fond of Aizarno, whom she makes no secret or her love. In 'the warmth of her aftec tton, she fol;ows, .and endeavours to gain his heart, ~nd Ames, but Without success, to draw hi.o from.the influence or those who practise on his weakness 'by feats supposed to be magic. In .this situation of things the piece COM notiiccs. Alzarno is drawn to a rui n i near Naples, where a mysterious Moen, apkatchtly under the diiection of Val. mum, (an unsucxesstui suitor to L a u r einina), ueciares him. sear able, hot uniy to raise the Princess A ltanura from the de...0, but to_torm another being in every respect tile . Saine iii person, in beauty, and in worth. Doubting the possibility of such a creation,' yet . ..itesitattog to pronounce it impossible, irorn the wonuers he nits " previously • witnessed, Alzarno re sists the entreaties of Lauterithia to quit the ruins and its mysterious visitors, 'and remains again to be imposed on by those who had already practised on his credulity. A part of the ruins are lifted, as by magic, and a beautiful pears, whi. - calls 'herself. Atiniza. tier •exact resemblance of Altamira• excites the greatest surpnze in Alzarhu, while' it calls forth the warmest Allection, and the sincerest j•iy joy, fici'wever, not. wholly untningled with fear arid doubt.. Circumstances shortly induce in hint a belief that he is the dupe of artifice, and he spurns Aurora, 'and treats the story •of her creation ifs a ridiculous falsehood. To prove his powyr, which is thus doubted, theiVl,or (Muddy) pi °poses, to raise the shadow of Altarnira from the dead. This proposition, as the test of super-human power, is accepted by. Attain), who beholds the 'f orm o f .th e Princess rise betbre him. tie is allovired to ask. one question, to which he receives a response, and the figure disappears.. Subsequently he is called upon t?y Aurora (to whom he is still irresistibly at tached), to promise to 'forget Altatnira . .. 'The der hand tills him with grief. .Ple,hovVever,posttively refuses.to accede to it, and vows eternal constancy to his departectiove. ,The. magic bride (Aurora) now discovers itself to. be the Princess Alta.. mica, who, with the apptobation of the King, h er f at h er, ha d resin red to-these varied measures, which had been carried in', through the address of her servant M usaf. to try the sini...e.rity of his affection. , Th at placed beyond the shadow of a doom, every obStaele to their happiness is removed, and - the piece ends with the union of the lovers. was the avowed intention of the Author cf this piece to produce a work which should appear to of--' 1 . 40 its objeCt by necromantic power, yet the whole was to be the. result of natural means. • We do- not, however, conceive that the ev e nt s w hi c h he has troduced could be the mere effect of human agency. Bat he has brought forward a work which is calcu lated to excite a strong interest, which catcites the ituagination and pleases the eye.—The story is suf ficiently developed in the progress of the action ; the sentiments are natural, tender and impressive,. and .are in general conveyed in easy and elegaiit , lao. guage. The 'Managers _d2serve great Credit for he splenclour with which they have brought this ro mance forward. •The scenery is highly piethresque, striking, and magnificent. It has also variety as well as splendour, The work received very corn mendable support from all the Performers, but par ticularly RAYVIONIi, HOLLAND, WAGnEGRAYE i Mrs. EDWIN, and Mrs. POWELL. KNIGHT•aIso gave a pleasant relief to the graver parts of the•faule, in the character of a waggish and yet cowaidly servant.

Horns having been distinaiy, heard to the 'eft, proved Their having assembled, and that they proceeded towards Ardbear Bay; the coast of which being nearly peninsular, the Tipperary militia sealed the pass, while Captain Martin•and his yeomanry secured the interior.

His orders were, of course, obeyed, and in consequence,, it is believed, three men were killed, and two wounded.—Several men were taken, some of whom bore good Cliaracie-s and appeared to have been forced to accompany - the leaders that night ;. these were "released on taking the oath of allegiance and giving security for future good behaviour ; seven were committed to this jail' -on Monday, under the escort Qf iVlajpr Prendergast's . ,detacbment, some of them dressed in the uniform they were surprised in, viz.

Lucien con sented; and. the young Lidy went to Paris under the" Care of a Lady by whom she had been educated. 'She was received with great magnifitence, and an establishment, splendid and expensive; provided for her, 'She .was not daztiled by the brilliancy of the Court, nor the pleasures of Paris ; and she soon sighed for the tranquility of her hither's house. It was proposed to her that.she should marry Ferdi nand VII. who, upon her union, should be restored to his kingdom, but she peremptorily refused, and said, that she was educated in her father's princi ples, and was resolved to tallow his fortunes.. She d , spiced the grandeur that was to be purchased by the sacrlfice of the' engagements wb e ich had first lifed the faintly to power ; and the only request she had to make to the Emperor was permissiva to . re turn to her father's house. This inflexible republi can spirit in a young L:idy of' sixteen ) eau, raised at once the indignation and jealousy of Napoleon against his brother, as he imagined, that if any re- Aerse fortune on his part should revive the romp of the -Jacobins, they would look to a leader of such a character as Lucien had proved himself to be.
